Yogurt integrity guaranteed

摘要

Ferme des Peupliers, which produces artisan dairy products in France, is using a split beam x-ray inspection system from Mettler-Toledo to guarantee the integrity of its yogurts and milk-based desserts. It has a range of over 40 yogurts in glass jars and two filling sizes (125g and 180g), so the challenge was to find an inspection solution for the single production line that would efficiently detect contaminants, such as glass and metal fragments, in still-liquid yogurt products, with some having a fruit layer. Use of a standard metal detector was not possible due to product humidity and the density of the glass packaging in combination with an aluminium seal.
